Abstract: A hand-held firewood handling device (100) for grasping, lifting, and placing pieces of wood in and around a bonfire. The device is made of a rod (20) inserted into a tube (10), the rod formed with a handle (28) at one end and with a rotating prong (26) on the other end. The tube features a pair of spaced-apart stationary prongs (12) welded to its distal end, the stationary prongs positioned on the tube so that when the rod is rotated inside the tube, the rotating prong (26) is offset in the space between the stationary prongs (12). In use, the handle is rotated to move the rotating prong away from the stationary prongs and positioned over a log. Rotating the handle in an opposite direction until the prongs are securely around the log, the log is repositioned as desired and released by rotating the handle to open the prongs.
